Animis Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Villa have to make up a 10 point gap, which means one or more of the top six needs to fall out of form and they need to discover some. Both don't look like happening at the mo. If I was a player and they are interested, i'd be planning to play in the championship next season.

Not gonna happen for Villa. Fulham are the most likely other team to squeeze into the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby seem to be going back to looking like a bunch of individuals. They were really disjointed on Friday night (though Leeds were very good). Think Villa is a huge turnaround of a job. The bigger they are the harder they fall and it is going to take some time, plus a few transfer windows, before Bruce (or whoever) gets them fully turned around. No quick fix there. Club has been in a malaise for too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their fans are very confident and they seem to be the only contenders that have the ability to score goals. Looks like Chris Martin is back at his best too. What an absoloute disaster of a loan signing that is by Derby Basically loaning a rival a player that could genuinely then stop them getting in the play offs. It's hilarious.

full fathom five Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 18 minutes ago, SiJ said: I'm sure serenading Hourihane for twenty minutes will have made him change his mind and decide to stay... It's not just the Dingles tbf. We had a fair share of numpties tweeting and facebooking a certain striker up until last week with similar sentiments. Thankfully that striker wanted to stay and signed a new deal. If a player has made his mind up, then there's not a whole lot you can do. Barnsley have backed themselves into a corner with these contracts. Pretty sure they'd have tied a few of them down had they offered new deals in the aftermath of the play off final. Not 100% sure on this but will find out tomorrow for definite. It seems Barnsley aren't as flush with cash as radio Sheffield make out saying they don't need to sell players as they have the John Stones and Alfie Mawson money, either that or they refuse to pay players a decent pay rise. I say this because I've heard that Barnsley did offer Connor Hourihane a new 3 year contract but on a grand a week less than he's currently on????? Seems like they want these players to leave if this is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groundhopping Owl Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Winnall's agents did come across a bit poorly to me. Leaking the photo was daft and they seem a bit liable to show off - the way Winnall thanked them on twitter struck me as strange, do players usually publically thank their agents after a transfer? Barnsley are probably in a bit of a strop at present but there's plenty of transfer window left for reality to dawn on them - they'd be daft not to sell Hourihane now, as the only argument they could have to keep him is that they need him to keep their outside play off hopes alive, but I think they're pretty close to dying anyway. If they're being offered well over a million for him, they should take the money for him and Bree, which would come to over £5 million, and reinvest.No point letting him leave for nothing in the summer - Hourihane might get an even bigger wage as it will just be a free for all for his signature but that doesn't matter to Barnsley.

Haven't looked into myself but read that they do. He supposedly follows both the agency & agent who sorted out the Winnall transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S36 OWL Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Barnsley only have themselves to blame for the situation they have found themselves in regarding Wainnall , Hourihane and Bree.

Find it very hard to believe he's been to Hillsborough yet. Clubs have to agree a fee before a player is allowed to discuss anything with another club. Otherwise we would be in bother.
